Today and tomorrow are Curriculum Nights at The Parish School, where parents learn about what happens in their students’ school days. I attended tonight and heard about the curriculum, goals, and what it is like in the academic classroom. Tonight, the ICATs (Intra Curricular Activities Teachers) were mentioned several times, regarding performances this year.

After learning about the student’s curriculum, I want to make sure that parents mark their calendar for September 26th 7:00pm for a parent education about the ICATs (Intra Curricular Activities Teachers). Jill, Terri, Cara, Jennifer, and I will discuss how the fine arts foster a positive self-image and encourage self-expression while reinforcing language development and emerging students’ hidden talents. The students have library, imagination blocks, drama, art, computers, physical education, music, creative movement, and martial arts. There are plenty of opportunities to discover their hobbies and interests!

I will speak about music therapy at Parish and briefly about martial arts and creative movement. Hope to see you there!
